On Tuesday's Backchat, we're discussing cybersecurity and online fraud.
The police have warned of a surge in shopping scams, revealing that more than 180 local residents fell prey, losing a total $1.3 million, in just a week.

And many mobile users have reported receiving WhatsApp messages purporting to be from recruitment agencies and promising exciting job packages. This has followed a recent cyberattack targeting healthcare provider OT&P, in which the medical history of 100,000 patients might have fallen into the hands of hackers.

What is the current condition of Hong Kong's defences against cybercrime? Are corporations doing enough to protect their clients? How about hackers' techniques? Have they changed? We'll be hearing from some experts.

After 9:45, we look into the safety standards of skateboards. Let us know what you think. You can leave a message here on our Facebook page, email us at backchat@rthk.hk, or call us on 2338-8266.
